Description
Instantly generate a background for a fantasy character.
Breathe life into your role-playing or fantasy character.
Background Noise allows you to randomly generate a background for any fantasy character. By walking through a series of tables, you will determine:
* Where the character grew up
* Who they lived with
* What their parents did
* How many siblings they had
* Any family legacy
* Events in the character's childhood
* Events in the character's adult life
* The most significant personality traits of the character
* and much much more...
With 40 tables and hundreds of options, there are millions of possible combinations, making sure that no two character's backgrounds are exactly alike.
Great for role-players or authors.
So add some Background Noise to your character, they'll thank you for it.

Ratings and Reviews
Some checking logic needed
The app is quick and simple and will almost instantly give you an outline to work with. That said, it would be nice to have some checks in place to weed-out some of the more obvious contradictions.
For example, the first character I generated was born into an upper class family with much wealth, but lives in the servant's quarters. Temporary housing maybe...? The dad is a physician/thief/master trapmaker. The main character is an only child, but his sibling (the one that doesn't exist) ran away for a few months. They live in an arid marsh. One of his personality traits is trusting 6/suspicious 4, then on the next line it is trusting 4/suspicious 6.
The program is useful and with some common sense these problems are quickly eliminated, but some of the glaring issues (such as the sibling thing) I would expect to be caught and rerolled. Three stars for a good product that is rough around the edges; it would benefit greatly from some logic in the code to catch some of these issues.
Robust backgrounds!
Dead simple app that gets the job done. Instantly turns a blank slate into a living, breathing character.
Works just like it says
Easy to follow straight-forward app. A helpful tool for gamers and writers alike.
